Presence Of Many sorrowing Thousands.
| Washington Dispatch: A little before IL
o'clock the distinguished guests began to
enter the chamber and took the seats which
| had been carefully assigned to them by
tion which sent a beautiful wreath, and
the japanese legation, who early paid
| visit OF sympathy to Mrs. Logan, were not
| present, nor was the British Minister West
| Among the notable persons seen upon the
floor outside the official tsll bearers were:
Gen. Robert G. Schnecl, late minister to Eng
land; Gen. ohnA. j. Creswell Grants post
/ master general, who is the treasurer OF the
/ local Logan fund; Walker Blaine, who cam e
as representative OF his father; Alan Arthur,
who came also to show the respect which
| his late father had for Gen. Logan,
/ and who was assigned as an honorary
/ pall-bearer to take the place OF Robert
I. Lincoln, who was detained COL Fred
Grant, who much resembles now with his
full beard his father; Gen. Williamson OF
| iowa, late commissioner Of the land Office;
Gen. Rosecrans, who always admired Lo-
| gan as Il soldier.
| Ex-senator Conklin and Gen. Sherman
were the first to enter. They were followed
| by Senator Stamford and Chansey Andrews
OF Ohio, the father OF the finance of J ohm A.
Logan, Jr., and by Col Fred Grant, Gen
| Black, Postmaster General Villas, Senator
Allison, Gen. Hawley and the rest. Short
| ly before IL O'Clock the representatives OF
the administration entered. The president
I was not with them, but Mr. Bay ard took the
post OF honor as he now is the
next in lawful succession to the
presidency for the remnant OF Mr..
Cleveland's term. He dressed in
! plain black, wore black gloves and looked
| sedate and grave. Next to him sat Secre.
| tary Endicott, wearing prince Albert
business coat, gray mixed trousers and,
| strange to say, red gloves. Next sat Sec
rotary Whitney gloveless, whose face
strangely enough, was wreathed in SMILES
and Attorney General Garland, a man
whose face was the most sel-satisfied in all
the chamber, also gloveless.
THEN THE FAMILY ENTERED
| from the door which leads from the vice
| presidents room, which had been assigned
| to them. Mrs. Logan WAS dressed in the
heaviest black, her features wholly covered
| by thick mourning, resting heavily
| upon the arm OF her son, greatly affect
| ed Following her came James V. Logan,
| the generals youngest brother, who
needed no introduction to the audi
the dead hero. Mrs. Logan took a seat in
front OF the vice Presidents desk, and
| Manning Logan and James Logan sitting
on either side of her. Next sat Mrs
Tucker, also in deepest mourning. Be-
side her was her husband Mai. Tucker,
and next in deep black but unveiled,
was Miss Andrews, the fiancee Of Man
resting awestruck upon her the
little grandson. Logan Tucker. From the
outset Mrs. Logan was deeply affected al
| though evidently under the greatest SELF
CONTROL but when the eloquent passages
| OF Parson.Newmans sermon were delivered
in which the qualities OF the dead We're
SO graphically eulogized she could scarce
restrain her emotion. At one minute past
II O'Clock the venerable doorkeeper,
| Bassett, and Deputy Sergeant at Arms
Christie appeared at the southern door,
beneath the clock from which depended two
long mourning draperies, to announce the
| funeral cortege which was arriving from
the rotunda. The procession entered,
headed by the four clergymen-Pa rson
Newman, Bishop Andrews. Revs. Butler
| and Tiffany; Rev. Newman reading as the
cortege advanced the funeral service OF the
Methodist church, II know that my re-
deemer liveth." The honorary pail bear

Senator Stanford, Postmaster General
Villas, Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Mr.. C. H. An
drews, Col. Grant, Mr.. Mcmillan M. H.
Leggett and Gen. J ohm c. Black.
They wore sashes ofblack, with shoulder
| knots OF black and white ribbons. They
formed into two lines as they came within
the bar, between which passed the pail
bearers ofsthe Grand Army men bearing the
casket. The congressional committee wore
wide sashes OF white. The honorary pail
bearers and the committee were conducted
to seats on the left center. Senator Sher-
md ~ ;,1o oIo
| at the presidents desk and the clergy were
at the desk OF the secretaries. The solemn
| services were begun by the reading OF the
| Ninetieth Psalm by BishopAndrews Prayer
was offered by DR.. Tiffany, During the
prayer the silence OF the great assemblage
was most impressive, broken as it was on
lily by the uncomfortable sobs OF the Wild
| ow, who leaned as if for support toward
her son in whose firm clasp her hand re-
manned throughout the ceremony. Some
selections from the funeral service OF the
| Episcopal church EXTRACTS from I. Corin-
| thians) were read by Rev. DR.. Butler.
Then the funeral Grafton was delivered
| by Rev. Newman.
The proceedings were closed with the
benediction and then the presiding officer,
| Senator Sherman, directed that the funeral
| procession be reformed the direction
OF the sergeant a. -arms. This order was
| the signal for the withdrawal OF Mrs Logan
and the sorrowful members Of her family,
| who rose and left the chamber by one OF !
the northern doors. The members of the
| Loyal Legion also withdrew The coffin
was then borne out attended By the cbfef
| mourners. The supreme court judges next
passed out and then the senators and rep
resentatives, and in q few minutes the SEN
ate chamber and galleries were empty
